People are invited to share their views about care homes in Westmorland and Furness as part of a review into the service.
The authority is gathering data as part of the review into residential and nursing homes.
The council is asking for feedback on what works well, what needs to be improved and what is most important in giving people a good experience of residential care.
Through its contracts with independent social care providers, each year the council spends over £20 million providing residential care to nearly 800 adults in Westmorland and Furness, including older and disabled people and those with mental health support needs.
The support received ranges from essential daily living care and medication provision through to more complex care for those requiring dementia and nursing support.
Public drop-in sessions have been arranged for:
- Thursday July 4 from 11am to 3pm at Barrow Library
- Tuesday July 16 from 10am to 2pm at Penrith Library
- Wednesday July 17 from 10am to 2.30pm at Kendal Library
The public drop-in sessions are part of a larger project gathering the views of service users, social care providers, councillors and other organisations within this sector.
